- WATCH PART 2 NOW! • The Impossible Detail ...
Our Impossible Detail is here! We picked up this 1985 Mercedes 190E for one of the most challenging auto details we that have ever done. This detail will be a four part series that consists of the algae removal, the wash up and prep, the exterior paint correction and interior cleaning and detailing. Stay tuned for part two and the paint correction! - Авто та транспорт
What is the product you used to remove the algae and where can I find it? Can’t find anything in the stores and a power washer doesn’t get it all without removing the paint with it.
Nice to see the boss doing some work again LOL!
I really like the CEO he is an unbelievably knowledgeable person on the subject of Automotive appearances. his seminars are top notch. if you don't know what I mean take one they're a terrific value and you'll see what I mean.
Thank you! - Nick Vacco
I live in a rain forest in Hawaii. That Mercedes was in excellent shape compared to some of the hoopties cruising around here.
personally, I would have definitely run a mold/mildew remover as a presoak, let it dwell, then pressure washed as a first step. Standard 2 bucket wash possibly with some more aggressive soap (maybe just dish soap since the car was so dirty) before moving to some test clay spots.
But, i doubt the brush did any significant damage to the paint because moss and mildew are generally pretty soft. I am sure there was a ton of grit on the paint in general though, which is where a presoak and pressure wash would have been a worthwhile step.
left my solstice gxp out for 3 years while i way away. didnt look quite this bad but not far off. took a week to clean it up.
Great improvement Nick and Kevin! I want Nick to braid his hair like Snoop in part 4. 👍
I will in the next video!
The most iconic Mercedes
(in my opinion)
detail king, what's the background music you have you have at the beginning
45 seconds in and I'm ready to burn it. :) Brave project!
Hi guys, I am need some moss remover to use it on the rubbers that go along the windows. Do you have any link to such product please. Thanks
What's the name of this trance sounding track
Wow you guys made that a lot more work than it needed to be. I did the same car, almost the same color and same condition. I used the Optima steamer it had the power to blow away all the loose dirt, hardened on dirt, algae, mold and sterilized it all in one process. No brushes needed no pool of water around the car. Well, I used a brush for the wheels but I did it by myself in about 2 hours including the motor and wax. Surprisingly enough even though it hadnt been washed in over 3 years the paint was in pretty good condition.
You are amazing!!
Detail King I know, it says so on my t-shirt
Song in last min of vid??!!
What cleaner is this?
last minute of the vid anyone know the songs name?
i wonder if this treatment its cheaper than respray?painter will take out all the parts clean them and give a fresh coat of paint
I think I’d start with a leaf blower outside. Then a good pre soak and power wash . Then bring it in and wash with hot water.
What is the name of that spray. My car has a bad paint job. It’s a white car covered in Mildew. I have tried just about everything I can think of and still it has mildew on the white paint.
Y'all threw away all that good compose away! You had enough yo put in the bottom of a pot to put outside the shop. lol That's for the videos. I just got a 1995 Astro Van from family members that needs a good clean up. Especially, on the inside. I also have an Acura that's been sitting for almost a year.
Nice informative video... However, I agree I personally would have lightly power washed the car before scrubbing with the brush to reduce the risk of potential scratching.
Otherwise great!
I seriously can't wait for the rest of this video series with the founder of Detail King.
Increasing the value by thousands, as he scrubs away at the moss with a brush 🤣
Is it possible to give an actual time frame of how long these jobs took, so that viewers/beginners can have an idea when actually have to deal with a customer...thank you
Even with the moss you can see the body of this thing is in great condition.
Chemical guys should do something like this instead of the shiny cars they detail. lol
arun jacob you right
@@enrique5073 quite agree..show reality
There maintenance as a detailer where the cleaners
James Franco workin the car wash with Danny McBride, Times is tough bitches !!
Green shirt guy is Bob Ross reincarnated...
lol treu
When we have part II? I'm waiting.
Just published it yesterday
Can’t believe Edward Norton is such a pro in car detailing
Their tornado tool doesnt work on certain things its better for carpets. Essentially on cheap carpets such as chevy tahoes and prius carpets.

Why scratch the clear coat? You should pressure wash it first, then pre-soak, then rinse and the do the process you did...
where you guys located
Pittsburgh PA, Plum/monroeville area..
Why not use a power washer. The brush can scratch the paint. I think it actual did. This is just stupid.
Yeah, a good foam and pressure washer would be much more gentle and faster than brushing the dirt directly on the pint.
FutureLine Roy absolutely agree stupid video
This car has a single stage paint. It needs to be heavily compounded and polished any way, so why care about any scratches?
Exactly
I was trying to purchase your training DVD on your website however I could not select New Zealand as a shipping Destination, are you able to ship to my location @detailking
Yes you can, you might have to call in however. Call us at 724.325.0008
mkay
I am watching this videos for entertainment😜😍
"Were not using anything aggressive!"
*scrapes paint with a brush*
thick layer Dirti Use a brush afterwards? ....this is crucial catch!
Danny McBride
I like Bob Ross in this
Hi bob ross
"the paints in great shape" as he scrubs it with a brush lol
That guy looks a lil bit like BOB ROSS
I know its an old car. However, a brush on paintwork is a big no no. Would have been less effort to snow foam the vehical then rinse the majority of the muck away. Mr Kosilla would not approve!
That last part is so misleading.... filming the car when it's wet. I believe it will look like that once it's done, but not right now.
It's like when you see cars for sale adds, and they take pictures coming out of the car wash!
And the point being, we just showed a car wash and how to remove algae??
+Detail King lol. It's not for sale, the purpose is for teaching.
First we are going to remove the twigs.. mmkay
So he just volunteered to wash someone's car?
Hello jwatwater! We used this car for one of our training seminars! Therefore, the owner of the car received this detail free of charge. However, he still has not picked it up!
Wow. And y'all have had it for 9 months?? Jeez
Erm! jet washer.
Time for the crusher.
